Uncle and trainer Peter Fury said: “Mr Haye knows how to get you all going it seems.

“We been ready from day No 1 and still are.

“Nothing cryptic with my Answer. Were ready to Rock & Rolll.”

Fury seemed to pave the way for a clash with Haye by pulling out of a potential clash with unbeaten Bulgarian Kubrat Pulev.

The fight would have doubled up as both a final IBF eliminator, to determine who would be the mandatory challenger for Wladimir Klitschko’s belt, as well a scrap for the Bulgarian’s EBU title.

Haye’s link-up with promoter Eddie Hearn means the fight could be screened on Sky Box Office with the Manchester Arena muted as a possible location.

Fury’s last outing was a victory over Steve Cunningham at New York’s Madison Square Garden in April. Haye beat Dereck Chisora at Upton Park last July, but was subsequently forced to postpone a comeback bout against Germany’s Manuel Charr due to a hand injury.
